Heyzeus

Heyzeus is an Alternative Rock group, from the UK. The duo is comprised of singer/songwriter and guitarist, Jamie Andrew, and partner Jessica-Louise on the drums/percussion. The pair met after Jessica, from Berwick-Upon-Tweed, saw Jamie on an ITV1 Saturday night TV show, and decided to track him down and travel the length of the country to meet him!

Catchy melodies and real feelings, delivered by some beautifully raw, and edgy rock vocals, sung over riffy guitar parts, make Heyzeus a group like no other of their time. The genre, described by Heyzeus himself, is known as 'Etheric Rock'.

Jamie Andrew has been busking all over the world for the past few years, as a solo musician, performing his songs on some of the worlds most famous streets. Continual exposure through busking has earned Heyzeus some credible gigs at venues such as 'Ibiza Rocks' & 'Hollywood Roosevelt' Hotels.

Earn yourself a physical copy of Heyzeus’ acoustic ‘Unplugged’ album; out now.

Niamh McSmith

At the age of 16 I was barely getting my head around Biology revision but super-talented singer-songwriter Niamh McSmith is already starting her assault on the music industry.

Her debut Alone Again is a plaintive yet ultimately uplifting guitar ballad about wooing back a lost lover. The video follows Niamh with tumbling pre-Raphaelite curls, denim jacket and Amy Winehouse-esque eyeliner, playing her guitar around the city and eventually befriending a hunky busker.

The sweet soundtrack to young romance, Alone Again has a chorus which will wedge firmly in your head… unlike all that stuff about enzymes and photosynthesis.Niamh has just signed to London’s Downtown Artists so expect more from her – in the meantime, Alone Again is a gorgeous introduction.

Songwriter, singer and guitarist. Recording music under record label 'Lucky Boy Records'.

Single 'Nice' produced by Tom Gulliver, was released in February.

Debut EP 'How to Lose You - EP' is out now, featuring that single and three other tracks. Here is what Rachael had to say about this EP:

"This summer for me has been probably the worst I can remember for mental health and unhappiness with who I am and where I’m at in life. But one thing that has stayed constant is my love for writing and making music. So being able to spend a whole day in the studio creating music was a serious dream come true. Every song on this EP explains some of the feelings I held in my heart at some point these last couple of months. There’s a lot more music that’s come out of this but I’m not quite ready for everyone to hear those quite yet. So for now here’s a little piece of me that I hope resonates with you."
